Chapter 20 The Road Ahead and Returning to the Village [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

"Ahhhh!"

A tragic scream was heard from the venue. A man with gray-brown skin and multiple limbs like a spider was lying on the ground, roaring unconsciously.

The spider-like limbs gave him flexible movements and agility, and his figure jumped back and forth on the field.

The sickle-like arms swung and cut through the air, leaving deep cuts on the surrounding walls.

About a quarter of an hour later, the alienated man who had been extremely ferocious before suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

The two sickle-like arms tried hard to support the body from the ground, but in the end they were unable to do so.

Like a dying beast, the man struggled hard on the ground, but the light in his eyes and the rise and fall of his chest eventually became weaker and weaker.

Finally, he fell completely to the ground, and his alienated limbs began to fade away, revealing the body and face of a normal man.

"Experimental subject No. 03, failed."

Looking at this scene on the screen, Lu Nie drew a vertical line on the document in his hand.

"Recycle it." Standing at the side, Orochimaru did not show any frustration about the failed experiment. For him, the current failure was far from enough to undermine his confidence.

He now only wanted to analyze the physical data of the test subject, find out the reasons for the failure, and then grasp the final correct answer through repeated searches and corrections.

When Lu Nie went to the field to bring the corpse back to the laboratory, the seemingly dead corpse on the ground suddenly mutated again and jumped up.

The waving arms transformed into a sickle shape again, while the rest of the body remained unchanged. The man's gray eyes were now full of ferocity and hatred.

However, the next moment, the man's attack suddenly stopped, and the tip of the sickle on his arm was only a finger's distance away from Lu Nie's eyebrows.

It was obvious that he could pierce through Lu Nie's head in the next moment, but the man's body was unable to move.

"Are you still alive? No, you're at the end of your strength." Lu Nie looked at the man with unwillingness in his eyes, glanced at the shadow of him and the other person merged together, and sighed slightly.

As Lu Nie spoke, the man's eyes completely lost the light of life, and all the alienation in his body also faded and disappeared.

Hongdou watched the scene numbly, and after watching it many times, she got used to it and could even help out when needed, even though she could only be a thug.

Place the body on the test bench, and then connect and bind the surrounding instruments.

Looking at Orochimaru and Kaname who were busy analyzing data, Anko felt a little bored.

She wanted to participate, but she couldn't understand the complicated data. Even if Orochimaru sent a shadow clone to teach her, she still needed enough time to learn and master it.

How much she can learn in the end depends on her talent in research.

"Obviously, the body has been modified to be able to withstand a certain amount of natural energy. So why did it fail later?" Orochimaru looked at the data in his hand, trying to find the omissions.

"Is it because the natural energy taken from Jūgo is too violent? Or is there something wrong with the sealing technique?"

"Is there a possibility that it's a chakra problem, Teacher Orochimaru?" Lu Nie looked up and said to the confused Orochimaru.

"Chakra?" Orochimaru looked down at Shikagawa in front of him.

“You and Lady Tsunade have explained to me that the human body and chakra have their own unique characteristics.

Since chakra is a combination of human will and body, it can also be said that everyone's chakra is different.

If we allow the experimental subject to receive a certain amount of Jūgo's natural chakra under the sealing technique and transformation, shouldn't we also consider how to shield the influence of Jūgo's will carried by this part of the natural chakra?"

"That's an interesting idea, Luna." Orochimaru's eyes lit up. The immortality he envisioned was to keep himself young by constantly changing his body.

The most important point is to implant one's own spiritual will and memory into another new individual through chakra, an energy that itself possesses such characteristics, so as to achieve the purpose of taking over the old one's nest.

Lu Nie's reminder undoubtedly made his idea clearer and more achievable.

"In other words, the chakras of two wills in one body will produce conflicts and confrontations, thus causing the experimental subject to be unstable?" Orochimaru threw aside the experimental report data in his hand.

"I think so." Lu Nie nodded.

“Then we can only let one will control the body, but Jūgo’s natural chakra is violent and destroys reason.

It seems that the sealing technique needs to be readjusted and improved, and the new experiment will have to wait a little longer. As it happens, there are not many test subjects left in the base, so maybe I need to go back to the Jinsuo and find a few wandering ninjas. "

Orochimaru licked his lips and said.

Disguise yourself to accept the mission, find the rebel ninja based on the information provided, capture him and bring him back to the base for experiments, then wait for him to die and recycle him as waste, then take his head to the gold exchange office to exchange for a sum of money.

This is another way for Orochimaru to study and make money besides defrauding funds.

As someone who had a deep understanding and research of the various forms of chakra, once Orochimaru had an inspiration and was enlightened, he almost immediately thought of many ways to experiment.

If the forbidden technique of reincarnation is successfully developed in the future, how can we weaken the resistance of the reincarnated body?

Compared to the deep-rooted chakra of adult ninjas, will the teaching and brainwashing by words and deeds from an early age make their resistance weaker?
The mental and physical erosion must at least reach a level comparable to that of a reincarnated body.

Orochimaru subconsciously began to fantasize.

So, next time I go out, can I search for more gifted and talented children in other ninja villages, adopt them, and train them slowly?
For example, bloodline limit?
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. Once this idea took root in his mind, he soon couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart.

Lu Nie was carefully recalling in his mind the technique that Orochimaru taught him, the one called Curse Seal, which could only be considered a semi-finished technique.

His eyes glanced at Hongdou who was standing bored nearby.

As the first person to bear the Heaven's Curse Seal, Red Bean's fate is also very sad. She was attacked by her admired teacher, so she developed a strong hatred for Orochimaru under various blows.

Now think about it seriously, Orochimaru was probably at a dead end. What he did secretly was exposed by Danzo, and Orochimaru, who received the news, knew very well that he had no time and ability to take people away.

Even he himself was not sure whether he could leave Konoha Village alive.

Attacking Hongdou, giving her the Heaven's Curse Seal, and erasing part of her memory, in addition to removing the little protection brought by the master-disciple relationship, it was also to leave a way out for himself.

If he died at the hands of his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, and Red Bean, who was cursed, survived, then he would still have a chance to make a comeback.

"But we have been away from the village for several months." Lu Nie reminded Orochimaru again.

For a B-level mission, no matter what kind of accidents might happen, with Orochimaru as the leader, they should be completed and return to the village within a few months.

"Has it been a few months? It seems I have been immersed in research for too long." Orochimaru frowned, hesitated for a moment and then sighed.

"Let's get ready. The excuse I made last time should have been delayed for a long time now. We should go back to the village."

"Are you going back to the village?"

Red Bean, who was standing by, became excited and energetic when she heard Orochimaru's words. Although it was fresh to go out of the village to carry out a mission, after a few months and staying underground for so long, she did miss Konoha Village and the soft bed at home.

"Yeah, if I don't go back, I'm afraid some people will get upset." Orochimaru was a little disappointed. After all, there were still a lot of research projects in the village that he needed to be responsible for.

He could have quit, but the consequences were not what he wanted to see. Although Danzo was not a good partner, he was willing to pay!
When will we gain financial freedom for research?
"Jūgo, just stay in this base." Orochimaru saw the young man next to Red Bean, thought about it and decided not to take him back to the village.

"I..." Jūgo was a little nervous. Because he had been with Orochimaru and the others these days, he didn't have to worry about hurting innocent people when he went berserk.

Whether it was Orochimaru or Kaname, they were always able to control him immediately until he calmed down.

Now Orochimaru and Kagane were leaving without him. His heart, which had been at peace for a long time, became panicked again.

“Before I leave, I will prepare enough neurotoxin injections for you. You can inject yourself with a certain dose before you go crazy and lose control.

Next time, I will prepare a better, targeted medicine for you, or a sealing technique to balance the natural chakra in your body." Lu Nie took a step forward and comforted the somewhat bewildered Chongwu.

"Then let's get ready. The next time we meet may be in a few months." Orochimaru had no objection to what Luna said.

His original plan was to build a cell and throw Jūgo in. As long as he didn't escape, it didn't matter what kind of damage he caused.

But since Luna has his own ideas, Orochimaru doesn't mind the decision he makes.

……

Konoha Village.

"It's Lord Orochimaru!" The ninja guarding the gate immediately became alert when he saw the dusty Orochimaru and his two companions.

After leaving the formalities, Orochimaru and Kagome returned to the village. They had not walked far when they realized a sense of restlessness.

During the time they were away, something big seemed to have happened in the village!
Orochimaru waved his hand, signaling the team to disband.

When Lu Nie returned home and saw his father for the first time, he asked his inner question: "What happened in the village?"

"Why do you ask?" Before Lu Ji had the chance to express his longing for Lu Nie, he was stunned for a moment and asked back softly.

"The atmosphere in the village is not right. Anything that can affect the atmosphere of the village cannot be a trivial matter no matter how you think about it, right?" Lu Nie sat down opposite Lu Ji and threw the bag he was carrying aside.

"Senior Sakumo is dead." Looking at Lu Nie's face full of curiosity, Lu Ji thought about it and decided not to hide it from him and took the initiative to tell it.

In fact, there was no need to hide this matter. All the children in the Konoha Ninja Village School knew about it. Even if he didn't say it, Lu Nie would definitely find out from Orochimaru or his friends later.

"Konoha White Fang?" Lu Nie was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, because he gave up the mission, the interests of the village were damaged. Feeling guilty, Senior Sakumo committed suicide at home two days ago." Lu Ji touched Lu Nie's head and explained softly.

"Do you believe this?" Lu Nie looked at his cheap father strangely. This statement is a lie!
"This is the official statement." Lu Ji rubbed Lu Nie's hair vigorously, messing up his hairstyle, and said in a serious tone.

"So that's it." Lu Nie was silent for a moment, then nodded. Since there is already an official statement, there will be no other statements on the surface. The cheap dad said this to remind him.

"Where is Hatake Kakashi?" Lu Nie thought of the person in the school who was very much loved and valued by the teachers.

"He has already graduated from the Konoha Ninja Academy. He is the youngest student to graduate. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a Chunin soon."

Seeing that Lu Nie understood what he said, Lu Ji withdrew his hand. However, when he heard Lu Nie's question, he sighed subconsciously and told him the information he knew.

"Such a young Chunin?" Lu Nie was thinking about whether to visit Kakashi, but he did not have a very deep friendship with the other party.

The only place they had interacted was at the Ninja School, where they had met a few times and exchanged a few words. The impression he had of the other person was that he was a cool, quiet, genius who didn't fit in with his classmates.

After he was approached by Orochimaru to be recruited as a disciple and left the ninja school, the two of them had even less friendship.

Even the two friends Qiu Daodongfeng and Shan Zhongxue, who used to be inseparable, have much less chances of meeting each other.

With this kind of relationship, there seemed no need for him to visit.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kakashi, who is devastated by the death of his father and tormented by the messages from the village, will immediately fall into a cold and closed mission master mode, and in his mind, complete the mission as the first goal of a ninja.

Kakashi in this mode is inhuman and unreasonable. Even the young Might Guy cannot impress him during this period of time.

All we can do is wait for Minato Namikaze's Team 7 in the future.

After thinking it through, Lu Nie immediately put Kakashi behind his mind for the time being. He planned to take advantage of the time he returned to the village to digest what he had learned from Orochimaru in the past few months.

PS: Today and tomorrow's follow-up reading is very important, as it is related to the trial push next week. I beg everyone to help follow up reading. Otherwise, this book may be lost!
